The First Step for Six Years.
A MARVELLOUS, IF NOT MIRACULOUS, CUR

A MARVELLOUS, IF NOT MIRACULOUS, CURE.
Many of our readers will remember the
injury of the daughter of Mr. w. II. Turner
of Berlin, near Montpelier, some six years
ago. The accident caused deformity of
the spine and total loss of sensation and
power in the lower extremities Doctors
from far and near had exhausted their skill
and had abandoned the case as utterly hope
less-a child of fourteen doomed to be a
cripple for life. Fortunately her parents
became inspired with the hope that DR..
Gage of 26 West Thirty street, New
York, the author of so many wonderful
cures in this section, might reach her case.
AT one of his visits to Montpelier, few
months ago, Mrs. Turner consulted him and
received encouragement The patient could
not be carried to Montpelier, so, after care
fully considering the case, the doctor de-
cided to prescribe without seeing her. His
directions have been faithfully followed
and, under the treatment, she has steadily
gained from the first The natural feeling
soon returned to her limbs and she can now
walk with but little assistance, and her
parents are naturally overjoyed at the pros
poets of a complete restoration. Why DR..
Gage should have such remarkable success,
even without seeing the patient, is mys-
terry, to say the least. We have no theory
to advance but simply give the plain facts
and leave our readers to draw their own in
erences.-Montpelier Waterman.
We published the above several months
ago, the case was then exciting so much
interest and so many onjectures as to the
possibility of a cure after the patient had
been helpless so many years. We now
have the pleasure of publishing the follow
ing from Miss Turner:
BERLIN, VT, November 49, 1886.
Editor Waterman The notice in the
WATCHMAN several months ago in regard to
my cure by DIR. Gage has called out so many
letters of inquiry to know if l still remain
well that / desire to make brief statement
of my former and present condition. When
eight years of age | was so injured by an ac-
cident that l became lpless-unable to
walk for seven years We had made SO
many trials that we had almost given up in
despair. / was unable to be carried to DIR.
Gage, so my mother consulted him in regard
to my case, and he sent me remedies without
seeing me. / commenced to gain at once,
and while taking the third course gained so
rapidly that fourth was not necessary.
can now walk mile without any difficulty,
and if necessary could work all day Words
cannot express my gratitude to DR.. Gage
for rescuing me from life of misery and
helplessness. Very truly yours,
! MISS L. OLA TURNER.
